I'm reviewing my tickets (seems a good thing to do with a release
imminent), and I'll post up each ticket that merits comment as a separate
message.
Ticket #843 has gone into trunk (commit 5361, oliphant) ... but your
editor appears to be introducing hard tabs! Hard tab characters are
fortunately relatively rare in numpy source, but my patch has gone in with
tabs I didn't use.
/me wanders off muttering darkly about the evils of tab characters...
